"Sen. Lindsey Graham threatened..." Ooh, that should strike fear in the hearts of Democrats. /s

Graham is turning into a bulldog. Maybe Hagel can be stopped after all.

I may have misunderstood Panetta and Dempsey, as unlikely as that might be, but I thought that each of them said that no one asked them for military support, prior or during the attack.
This article makes it sound that they were only talking about the time leading up to the attack. In addition, the special Utah national guard security unit, according to their commander, offered to stay longer in libya, but obese charlene lamb, state department assistant secretary for security at State, said she declined the offer, after consulting with ´senior officials´ at State - instead, she wanted to hire and train more locals in benghazi for security positions.
It is, however, becoming more and more clear that in this kenyan klown´s administration, no one seems to be in charge of anything.

Look whose Nancy pants are on.

Those 2 Brennan and Hagel should not be confirmed period. It should have nothing to do with getting Info on Bengahzi.

Have to give him time to gather his lies.

OK, Lady Lindsey - - let´s see what kind of guts you have.

Demand - - yes DEMAND - - two things: [1] A minute-by-minute accounting where Zippy was and what he was doing on Sept 11 & 12; [2] The names and contact info for all Benghazi survivors so that Congress can question them in detail.

Anything short of both of those demands will confirm what most of us already think of you - - that you´re a typical, gutless Pubbie wuss.

Why was the "AFRICOM" Commander fired? When was he fired? Who told Susan Rice to go out and lie about the terrorist attack? Why was the CENTCOM Commander fired? When was he fired? Where there ANY air assets within two hours flying time of Benghazi? I´m STILL waiting for those questions to be asked/answered....

That lie about being 13 hours away from being able to help these people was pathetic.

And it took us 24 days to secure the area because...gee wizz, uhhh, nobody asked us to.

Never sent any help cuz it was never requested ???

The ´people on the ground´ were in charge ?

They were begging for help.

Thank you, Senator Graham. Words are important. Not "I don´t think we should allow..." to "I will stand and refuse to allow..." Big difference.

American citizens on America sovereign soil were being murdered by heavily armed terrorists, and the president and CIC went to bed. The immediate superior of the diplomatic personnel was never heard from at all throughout the entire attack. While those personnel were placing frantic calls for help, orders were given to stand down. The defense department was never called in.

If this isn´t the place for a select committee, there is none.

Almost as grotesque as the administration´s dereliction, is the MSM´s dereliction in its collective yawn.

1. Re the article and the Republicans.

Here we go again. a. Talk tough. Well, "tough." Can´t rub the wrong way against all that "collegiality," which is of course far more important than the Republic. b. Remember that Republicans in leadership positions have all been donors in the CDC´s experimental spine-transplant program. c. The Left gets what it wants.

2. Re Benghazi. Never forget, the bigger and more important issue [yes, Benghazi is indeed a big deal, but] is that Obama and the State Department made sure all our diplomatic sites throughout the Islamic nations had no American security, but "relied on" locally-provided "security forces" for "protection." All so those warm, wonderful Muslim gov´ts would see how warmandfuzzy [yeah, one word] us Americans really, really are. And l-o-o-v-v-e us, ever-grateful to Barack.

#2, we´ve seen this song and dance before. Graham talks a good game but when it comes to a vote, he always caves.

Stand for your country Graham...this is your time...save the country

WND reporting FBI claims Brennan is a Muslim

Glenn Beck´s interesting assertion that Panetta and Dempsey were doing a quick two step on Thursday...
......Oddly throwing the president under the bus...,making it all but appear to be a dereliction of duty some say ....in not being available as our people were slaughtered at Benghazi...and then .....Panetta happened to comment that he, Hillary and Dempsey wanted to arm the rebel forces for Syria......BUT the president said no....Panetta however didn´t mention the rebel forces are AlQaeda

Now that the arms from Libya are showing up in Syria in the hands of AlQaeda...and in Algeria where Westerners were murdered at the BP facility and reported in foreign press....Obama wants cover for his treaon...
....Obama not only was arming AlQaeda and turning the Middle East over to the IslamoCommunists...he has done these treasonous activities in the open, under the nose of stupid, blind or worse... complicit senators....

Thank God the Seal and this Ranger had the GUTS, the patriotism ...to call foul...when our Generals dishonor their entire careers and hide behind their pensions...WHO are these hollowed souled soldiers who dishonor their country and their oath!

There was gun and missile running....Brennan looks like the arms deler point man for Obama and the shadow head of the CIA...

FAST AND FURIOUS BENGHAZI STYLE....

If true that Stevens was kept in the dark...and had met with Senator Inhoef the week before his death...Benghazi looks to be a set up....LameChery called it long ago...
.And the why of the Lochkeed official that resigned when Petraeus did ...also for an affair...That Lochkeed Chief Operating Officer had TRIPLED sales at Lochkeed in ONE year, in 2011..Explain that...Mr COO. If we´re fighting a war, let the American people know...

WWIII ? Stop now

The President, as Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief, has a right to the cabinet of his choosing. These confirmation hearings are cheap political theater for B-list politicians like Graham. The President won the election; his nominees should be confirmed absent serious evidence of malfeasance. The GOP are foolishly squandering political capital, making it easy for Democrats to tar them as obstructionist, and all for what purpose? To spare the President from being held accountable for his administration. End this foolish business regarding the President´s nominees! Graham is a fool and if he is on your side you should be doing some real soul searching.

Nice bit of trolling but we´re all stocked up on crazy right now.

#15 asserts "The President, as Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief, has a right to the cabinet of his choosing."

No, he doesn´t.

1. The Constitutional requirement of nomination, advice, and consent clearly and obviously invalidates that claim. Ooops!

2. Beyond that, reason can very shortly produce a long list of patently-disqualifying factors. Start with: a. foreign citizenship; b. criminal history; c. previous impeachment and removal from office; d. unauthorized [read: illegal] possession of over 1,100 FBI files; e. ah, nuts -- any honest examiner of the issue can come up with plenty more.
